Tips For Using Templates - Hinterberg Design Machine quilting frame Instructions Manual

•
You can reverse your Machine Frame handles by removing the hand speed control and the
knob at the top of the "T" part of the handles. Slide the crossbar out, reattach your handles
on the rear of the frame, reattach your hand speed control and then you are comfortably
seated at the rear of the frame.
•
Some people find it helpful to add friction to your carriage movement for template quilting.
This will slow down your carriage movement and may make it easier to follow patterns.
Simply lower your rear roller support until it is rubbing on the base of your machine. You
can offset, repeat, and reverse patterns to create new designs.
•
Many quilt magazines are including machine quilting patterns. They are easy to photocopy
and trace onto your quilt.
•
The gripper attaches to both sides of the carriage, slides along the carriage edges, and the
stylus fastener slides along the t-support for versatility.
•
A good way to start a pattern in an exact spot on your quilt is to put the needle into the fab-
ric at the point that you would like to begin the pattern. Then adjust your stylus location
using the gripper and fastener knobs to point to the beginning point in your pattern.
